Afternoon everyone, hope you're all having a great Easter weekend.
Although it's still very cold here in Wiltshire, it's quite sunny and we've managed to get into the garden and tidy up a bit! Easter weekend is always the start of the gardening, Alan dreads it coming around, haha.....he despises gardening, but would be the first to moan if it was a mess!
Anyway enough about the weather and garden, because I've just had the most loveliest of surprises today. I've found out that one of my cards has been published in the new Craft Stamper magazine. I haven't received my mag yet, but my lovely friend Eileen has uploaded a pic for me to see.
Here is a closer look.....
Firstly I started off with white linen, yellow and black cardstock from Papermill....it's the only card I ever use!
The background was made with Distress inks and some Pan Pastels onto the white linen cardstock.
It was stamped with a selection from Lili of the Valley and Inkylicious then heat embossed in gold.
The tag was made with a free stamp from Craft Stamper magazine. I chopped it into 3 pieces and mounted it onto light and dark cardstock.
Before chopping the tag, I triple-embossed with ultra thick embossing powder. It really makes the colours stand out.
A few fibres through the hole, to finish it off.
Well, hope you like this card, I'm absolutely thrilled to bits that the magazine liked it enough to publish....it was even the Editor's favourite...whoohoo!
Catch you in a day or so, enjoy the rest of your weekend xx
Congratulations Barbara, just love the colours and that lovely gold embossing, can't wait to receive my Craft Stamper to take a closer look.
